I'm noticing these red, itchy spots in the creases of both my elbows. It's making me worried. Do you know what could be causing this and what I can do to treat it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis. To treat this, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% applied twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil or Eucerin to keep the skin hydrated and prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
